Abstract

It is known that antenna arrays need calibration in practice. In the following, a calibration scheme for antenna arrays which employ an analogue beamforming network and a single receiver is presented. Those Arrays supply the continuously summed signals of all branches. Consequently, vector-based calibration algorithms which depend upon the complete array response vector cannot be employed. Therefore, the presented self-calibration scheme is developed to calibrate antenna arrays which provide only the combined array signal as a calibration quality measure. Simulations showed good performance of the calibration algorithms.
